Foster son and husband

Chapter 28
In the East Flower Hall, Xu Junying, Mei Niang, and Zheng Meiyu sat around the small round table, the girls and women waited on them quietly, and Bao Ju and Bai Zhan stood aside, waiting for the master to go out after eating.

Mei Niang took a dumpling with her chopsticks and put it on the small plate in front of Xu Junying, and said with a gentle smile:

"Husband, try this!"

Rui Zhu, who was standing behind Xu Junying, hurriedly took a closer look, and said anxiously: "Young Madam, the waiter doesn't eat chopped green onion stuffing!"

"Really?" Mei Niang raised her eyebrows and looked at Rui Zhu: "How long have you and Rui Bao been with Master?"

Ruizhu bowed her head and replied: "Returning to the young lady, the servants have been in the East Garden for almost half a year!"

"In the past half a year, Grandpa has been at home for less than two months, which means you have a really good memory. You can remember Grandpa's eating habits so quickly, not bad! Good girl! You need to be smarter in the future, not only have a little A good nose like a dog, and eyesight like an owl—this dumpling is steaming hot, you can’t smell whether it is filled with green onion, but you should be able to tell that it is a crystal dumpling!”

Ruizhu lowered her head, and whispered: "Return to the eldest young lady: I ​​can smell the smell of green onion!"

Mei Niang rolled her eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "Amazing, you really have a dog's nose! Miss Biao is biting dumplings stuffed with chopped green onion now!"

The women and maids behind them dared not make a sound, Bao Ju and Bai Zhan held back their laughter, with strange expressions on their faces, Xu Junying glanced at them and said:

"Ruizhu Ruibao is just waiting for you, you all go down. Baoju and Baizhan, if you two don't rush to eat at this time, what are you doing here?"

The maids retreated to the porch, Baoju and Baizhan also went, Zheng Meiyu frowned slightly and said:

"Who made it earlier? Why are they not the same? I thought they were all crystal dumplings, but I accidentally took a bite... I never eat chopped green onions either!"

Mei Niang looked at her: Are you talking nonsense?I had lunch with Mrs. Zheng in her yard at noon yesterday. Who doesn't have a pinch of green onion on the saucer?Why didn't she pick then?

Mei Niang smiled and said: "I asked the kitchen to make it, twenty dumplings, ten kinds of fillings, chopped green onion filling, pork filling, beef filling, fresh shrimp filling, assorted fillings, etc., meat and vegetables, half and half, each two Just, what kind of food does Cousin Yu like to eat, it’s up to you!”

Zheng Meiyu was stunned, and Ruizhu Ruibao was also in a daze when he heard it: A few dumplings can make so many tricks, the young lady is afraid that the people in the kitchen are too busy, right?
Xu Junying handed her plate to Zheng Meiyu: "I don't like green onion stuffing, let's eat this crystal!"

Zheng Meiyu accepted it obediently, got up and picked out another dumpling with the same shape on the big plate with a spoon, and said:
"My cousin has the same taste as me. I don't like to eat heavy food. This must be crystal. Eat it, cousin!"

Mei Niang had already put the plate containing two meat dumplings in front of Xu Junying: "Your cousin didn't eat anything after getting drunk last night, so you don't want to eat that kind of stuffing on an empty stomach... eat meat dumplings, eat more , I will be more energetic when I go out to do errands later!"

Zheng Meiyu froze on the spot with a spoon in her hand, with a sulky breath in her chest: Since it is not good to eat crystal stuffing on an empty stomach, why did you give it to your cousin first?

Mei Niang took a sip of porridge and looked at Zheng Meiyu with a smile: "Cousin Yu, don't stand there, sit down and eat slowly, don't worry, there are still more dumplings!"

Zheng Meiyu's face was blushing, Xu Junying didn't look at her anymore, she lowered her head to eat, and at the moment when she lowered her eyes, a ray of shrewd eyes was hidden.

Meiniang also ignored Zheng Meiyu, she ate breakfast slowly, and told Xu Junying that today she will officially manage Hou Fuzhong under the guidance of her mother. I took more time to go back to Tsinghua Academy to serve my husband, and finally sighed sadly and said:

"What should I do? My mother took Heng'er away. I don't have Heng'er by my side. It's so sad!"

Zheng Meiyu showed a trace of vigilance on her face, her eyes looked at Xu Junying very quickly, Xu Junying and her looked at each other, then turned to Meiniang:

"You were crying yesterday because of this?"

Mei Niang pouted: "I thought you didn't understand anything when you were drunk, but since you saw me crying like that, you stopped me and made things difficult for me!"

Xu Junying was speechless: The so-called drunken mind understands everything, but he just can't do what he wants. He fell to the ground with Meiniang, and he still has the impression. After that, he can't remember so much. When he came back, he caught Bai Zhan and asked. He asked to go to the upper room...

Everyone in the Tsinghua University knew that the uncle was drunk and went to the room last night, and slept on the bed with the grandmother!
Xu Junying had a headache just thinking about it, it was really unexpected that things turned out like this!
Want to stay away, want to get rid of, but get closer and closer.

Meiniang climbed out of the coffin, not only messed up everything, but caused such a big impact, Madam Hou, who was originally an insignificant and unremarkable family, suddenly became a legendary figure talked about in the streets and alleys of the imperial city.That's not to mention, she has grown ambitious and wants to be in charge of the waiting house, but the old lady is tolerant and supports her without knowing it, not to mention the eldest wife, when Bai Jingyu was in charge of the house, she just let her give orders in the open, this But Hui simply and neatly handed over all the keys to the account book to Meiniang, and his intention was obvious.As for Mei Niang, did she really lose her memory or was she just pretending to be stupid?
If she really lost her memory, how could she still remember that she was a mother, and when she woke up, she ran back to Tsinghua University to take Heng'er away without any mistakes? Saying that she needs to be in charge of power and money, and declaring to him that she loves money and power, isn't she really afraid that he will absolutely not allow her to be in charge of Zhongfei?

Xu Junying slightly turned to look at Mei Niang, but saw that she was concentrating on Zheng Meiyu who was drinking porridge with her head down, her expression and eyes were contemptuous and guarded.

Xu Junying smiled bitterly in her heart: a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, she can never figure out what she is thinking, Mei Niang has no affection for him at all, but she also guards Zheng Meiyu like this.

Could it be that she is really pretending to be stupid, remembering everything from the past, and now she is here to take revenge on him and Zheng Meiyu?
Mei Niang survived and came back to life. Although he had some scruples, he couldn't deny it. His heart relaxed, and he didn't even have so many dreams when he slept.

He has killed countless enemies on the battlefield, how often has he felt guilty and nervous?Why did he feel that he was the one who didn't allow her to live and forced her to death.

Obviously it was Mei Niang who felt sorry for him first, he took advantage of Zheng Meiyu's nympho, and acted in front of her sick bed, intending to let her know that Xu Junying is also a man who is affectionate and loving, betraying him and losing him is her loss, As long as she showed a little regret to him, he also felt that it was worthwhile to marry her desperately at that time.

But Mei Niang refused to look at him from the beginning to the end, let alone tell him any last words, he completely gave up, this woman has no destiny with him, he didn't listen to the old grandmother's words, it was really a big mistake Wrong, not only misjudged her, but also humiliated himself!
He confessed to cut off Mei Niang's old ginseng soup. Since he wanted to die, he didn't have to hang on to it.

When Mei Niang died, he also let go of his resentment: the deceased is gone, all honor, disgrace, grievances and grievances should be buried, and there will be no debt from now on!
Zheng Meiyu's thoughts towards him are easy to understand. He has always looked down on the women who come to his door, but Zheng Meiyu knows too much. If those secrets get out, it will shame him and the whole Xu family. Hold her steady, treat her tenderly and affectionately, never refuse her to serve him, allow her to take care of all the affairs of Tsinghua Academy, including Mei Niang's room, and create a false impression in everyone's minds: After Mei Niang, Zheng Meiyu will be in charge of Tsinghua Academy .

Zheng Meiyu is not polite at all, she seems to be the intended candidate for Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, she can live in the upper room with peace of mind, and accompany him to study in the Dongyuan study until late at night, if there is no Ruibao Ruizhu watching, maybe let her The bed warmer is all right.She dared to lean against him in front of Meiniang and act coquettishly with him, reprimanded Meiniang's dowry maid and mother-in-law, and even reprimanded Heng'er not to cry, when Mama Wang and Cui Lian Cui Si were sent to work. , Cuixi was on the other side of the room, hearing the scolding, he rushed to take Heng'er away, he saw tears in Meiniang's eyes, but she didn't hold any hatred, he was unwilling in his heart, Meiniang faced him for what he deliberately did. Whether he hates it or not, it makes him more painful.

Mei Niang put down her chopsticks and said to Xu Junying: "I'm done eating. I'll go to Ziyun Hall on the first day to listen to the housekeepers' reply. I can't let my mother wait for me. I have to go there quickly. I have to reconcile accounts after finishing chores. Don't stay with the uncle, at night..."

Xu Junying said lightly: "You can do what you want, don't pay attention to me, I will be with my friends at noon and night!"

Mei Niang just remembered: "Ah! Those friends of yours said they want to see me!"

Xu Junying glanced at her: "No need, it was just talking casually after drinking, you go to work!"

Meiniang now is different from before, she seems to be able to soar into the clouds to call for rain by catching a wisp of wind, it is better to confine her in the backyard, the more people know about her, the more entangled I will be with her in the future clear.

Mei Niang didn't know what Xu Junying was thinking in her heart. Zheng Meiyu was here, and she was not in a hurry to leave. She waited until Zheng Meiyu couldn't wear it any longer and had to put down the bowls and chopsticks. Then she smiled and invited her to go to Ziyun together. Tang Zuzu, Zheng Meiyu just wanted to decline, Mei Niang took her hand affectionately, and pulled her out involuntarily.

Traveling to this strange world, a feudal society where high and low are judged only by family status, and men are superior to women. In just a few days, Meiniang understands her situation too well. Her husband has signs of liking the new and loathing the old. Without money, her husband's family looked down on her mother's family who had no money, and thus despised her. The son she gave birth to was snatched by her mother-in-law to raise her. Is it because she was afraid that her humble background would affect the son's future, or was she afraid that she would not be able to support Mrs. Hou? The decent, unable to protect the rights and interests of his son?

But no matter so much, Xu Junying married her back then, and now he has to be responsible to her!

He is the umbrella for her mother and child. This umbrella must protect Meiniang and Heng'er from wind and rain. Unless the sky is clear and the sun is shining, it must not be lost!You have to keep a close eye on them, especially the cousins. The old lady in the room knows a little bit of shame and didn't dare to come to her door. The Zheng family is terrible. They are shameless and skinny, even if they are willing to be a concubine, hum!With the wife Qin Meiniang around, how can she get her wish?

If he wants to be Xu Junying's concubine, there is no way, unless Xu Junying is not Heng'er's father!
